Facade detail design: principle and shop details
Most problems appear at junctions, not in the middle of a system. We draw buildable details for slab edges, sills, corners, movement joints and interfaces.
Why it matters
Catalogue sections rarely cover a building’s special points: movement joints for storey drift, fire and smoke stopping, balcony door sills, facade-roof and facade-ground interfaces.
We address structural, thermal and water-tightness aspects together and deliver DWG and PDF details fabricators and installers can build.
Systems
- Slab edge and fire stopping
- Door sills and membranes
- Corners and movement joints
- Facade-roof and facade-ground interfaces
- System transitions
Standards
- EN 13830
- EN ISO 10211 / 10077-2
